Support subscriptions

[jason-curtis]

Subscription support was added to graphene in graphql-python/graphene#35. It would be awesome to have it built in to graphene-django so that we can build real-time apps with it!

This is being talked about here in graphene

graphql-python/graphene#430

Hi @thatneat, please, visit this module might interest you to use subscriptions on graphene-django

[mvanlonden]

Subscriptions added in v2 https://github.com/graphql-python/graphene/releases/tag/v2.0.0

[mvanlonden]

Reopening to add native support for subscriptions using channels

@eamigo86 what are your thoughts regarding adding subscriptions to the django-graphene repo?

@firaskafri @eamigo86 The package graphene-subscriptions has great integration of GraphQL subscriptions with Django models. Probably it would be valueable to get in contact with the lead dev for possible integration as well.

[Suor]

So there is no advised way to do that?

I am also a bit hesitant to use graphene-subscriptions since the last commit was nearly half a year ago.

Are subscriptions on the roadmap? Is there such a thing? 😊

@jkimbo Around 3.2 or 3.3 maybe? I can allocate some time for this.

I'm reopening the issue btw. This is a missing feature in graphene-django side, that's for certain.

Hi all! Author of graphene-subscriptions here 😊

It would be awesome to see subscriptions support added to graphene-django. I'm happy to submit a PR with my subscriptions implementation if there is interest in integrating it into this library.

One challenge with implementing subscriptions in graphene-django v2 right now is that you need to stitch together the async-based pattern that Django Channels uses with the Observable-based pattern used in graphene. This is what graphene-subscriptions does currently.

(Side note: @Eraldo I can definitely understand your concern there! Rest assured that I'm still actively supporting it (I'm hoping to ship graphene-subscriptions v2 very soon). Feel free to open an issue or DM me if you have any questions!)

Once graphene-django v3 ships with support for async resolvers, implementing built-in support for subscriptions will be much simpler and the implementation will be much cleaner.

@jkimbo I would love to help ship subscriptions support for graphene-django if that's something you and the team would be interested in supporting natively.

Also, if you're looking for an alternative, I'm the author of the graphql-ws branch handling django channels 2 subscriptions. Hopefully will have that merged to master soon (but actively using the branch in a pre-production environment successfully).

Seems like there's gaining traction on multiple solutions that are getting this done. Also happy to help work on (or consult on) a built in solution if it fits.

[Eraldo]

This seems to be another option that I want to include for completion's sake: https://github.com/datadvance/DjangoChannelsGraphqlWs

[stale]

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

Any updates? hopeful-eyes
Any clue which 3rd party library is more/less likely to make it into graphene-django at some point?

[Ahtii]

Anyone please help i am stuck in creating custom view (instead of GraphiQL) for subscription i am using @jaydenwindle 's graphene-subscription](https://pypi.org/project/graphene-subscriptions/) package here is the link to my problem.

[Eraldo]

It has been over a year and a half since the last comment. sigh

[procopio420]

all available libraries that I found has a lot of dependency problem with newer graphene versions :/ and implementing it by hand is being painful

[prokher]

We just published a huge update to DjangoChannelsGraphqlWs to support latest Django, Graphene & GraphQL-core. We still be happy to see subscriptions natively supported in Graphene & GraphQL-core, but until they are not there we stick to our own implementation, e.g. to DjangoChannelsGraphqlWs.
